[clug] Skype on Ubuntu

[Ben Schreiner]

Just incase you didn't know, eBay bought Skype and plans to use it as
a direct marketing engine, i.e. neverending telemarketing, maybe even
videophone direct marketing through Skype. Straight from Skype's press
relesase:

"The acquisition also enables eBay and Skype to pursue entirely new
lines of business. For example, in addition to eBay's current
transaction-based fees, ecommerce communications could be monetized on
a pay-per-call basis through Skype."
